A backpack from Kenzo in black, its front embroidered with a tiger head in rainbow thread above the words Kenzo Paris in orange. Zipped, with an outer pocket and an inner pocket, and measuring 47 cm in height.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. The tiger is its best-known emblem, and in this version the face is traced in a spectrum of bright thread, with lines of red, orange, green, blue and pink that glow against the darkness of the bag.
The bag is a rounded, soft-bodied daypack in a dark, finely woven fabric, with a zipped pocket on the front below the tiger and the name Kenzo set across it in amber capitals, Paris spaced widely beneath. Padded straps with metal buckles adjust the fit, and the interior has a further pocket for small things. It is large enough for a laptop or a change of clothes, yet it remains light and unfussy.
The colourful tiger is the point of the piece, a bright, slightly mischievous touch that turns an ordinary black bag into something with character. It sits well with plain sweatshirts and dark outerwear, where the embroidery becomes the only note of colour.
